* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Hawk gets the Mindsword and his father explains that it'll come to him if he wills it. But when he and Ranulf travel through a haunted forest, he somehow knows the light it sheds will keep them protected from evil spirits?

That brother is Hawk (John Terry), who arrives too late to save his father but in time to hear the prophecy that he had been guarding and which had seen him slain by his own son. As he dies, Hawk's father gives him a magical sword (which Voltan had desired) and the two are set on a path that will see them face one another in battle. When Voltan breaks into a convent and kidnaps the Mother Superior, a guy with an [[SchizoTech automatic crossbow]] seeks a hero. Finding none, he ends up finding Hawk. Hawk comes to the rescue of the Sisters of the Holy Word, promising not only that he will raise the two thousand pieces of gold but will defeat Voltan. Carrying his sword before him, Hawk sets out to gather a band of warriors...
